Whether it is due to their gorgeous hair, delicate features, snazzy dressing, or fey nature, some boys get called "little lady" more often than they'd like. The opposite of [[Lady Looks Like a Dude]], this trope involves male characters who are frequently mistaken for female (by other characters).
Line 149 ⟶ 150:
* Historical figure, Nasu no Yoichi, from ''[[Drifters]]'' is presented this way.
* Sunao, Ran, and Nanami from ''[[Sukisho]]''. Also, Hiromu.
* Won Fong-Fong from ''[[Rosario
* Nakameguro from ''[[Student Council's Discretion]]''. It's enough to instill some [[Stupid Sexy Flanders]] moments in Ken in episode 12.
* Ayase Yukiya and Kaoruko Someya from ''[[Okane ga Nai]]''.
Line 169 ⟶ 170:
* Naoi Ayato in ''[[Angel Beats!]]''.
* Mizuho of ''[[Otome wa Boku ni Koishiteru]]'' is ''very'' pretty even when not cross dressing as a girl.
* The title character of ''[[Id (manhua)|Id]]''. Acknowledged oh so many times in-universe. Not to mention that it's pretty much guaranteed that anyone who first reads the series is going to think he's a she.
* Peppo in ''[[Gankutsuou]]'', to the point where people on
* Many a male character in ''[[Revolutionary Girl Utena]]'' could pass as a pretty woman.
* Most of the males in the manga ''[[A Kiss To The Prince]]''.

Line 242 ⟶ 243:
* Loki of [[The Mighty Thor]] spent around four years real-time as a woman. He identified as both genders, though like Thor (who still referred to him as "brother") he mostly seemed to think of himself as male. The trope was referenced by name on the official Marvel bio site, that termed this period of his life: Loki looks like a Lady

* This is Francis the male ladybug's shtick in ''[[A Bug's Life|A Bugs Life]]''. He has a very feminine face as well as a very masculine voice. This is lampshaded a couple of times; for example, when we first meet him, two bugs in the audience start hitting on him when he performs.

* Ra in ''[[Stargate (film)|Stargate]]'' looks pretty girlish, and is played by the same actor who played the transsexual Dil in ''[[The Crying Game]]''.
* The peasant at the beginning of ''[[Monty Python and the Holy Grail]]''.

* ''[[Unwinder Tall Comics]]'': Dr. Minivan, after losing his hair (for science), buys a wig to hide his baldness. The wig is so long that he gets mistaken for a woman. When this happens in a public restroom, he panics and hides in a stall, and tries to figure out how to get back out of the restroom without incurring further confusion. This takes so long that he grows a beard. Problem solved!
* Parodied in the official ''[[Team Fortress 2]]'' update comics that show Merasmus being called "madam" or some variant by every minor character he interacts with, despite not looking or sounding (judging by his in-game voice) like a woman at all. He doesn't even try to correct them about it, he simply lets it fly.

Even after he grew a thick, manly beard, he still was quite slender, and the tight robes he wore did not help.
